1. Pakistan would have crossed, is a bit of phonny, however with people divided on RELIGION/ SECTERIAN basis, the same Indian Army whose one RETIRED ARMY GENERAL (Decorated) had crossed over to Bhindranwale, could not TRUST any one and had to take SLEDGE HAMMER to pacify or resolve a PROBLEM which could have been easily handled.
Could they have handelled in a different way ? Hindsight is so fantastic that everything seems great but i dont think so, where TRUST is broken down, disproportinate ACTION is a NORM !!

Well, if u r not being sarcastic, basically, yes it was a disproportinate action but there was a mistrust between Indian GOI, (Army TOP officials) that if a WAR were to happen, will the SIKH JAWANS get behind India or change side, some had CHANGED sides already, so they had to do what they did
Congress created so called Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale .Congress main purpose was for him to destroy the Akali Party led by Parkash Singh Badal ,etc . Everything was working for Congress .Rajiv Khan & Sanjay Khan used to occasionally meet Bhindranwale & by this the Akali party completely went against congress . Later when Bhindranwale saw things were not going his way he went completely against the Akali Party & even congress and then everyone knows what happened .That led to over 10years of Terrorism....
What Gen. Brar states is truth. I was witness to the times in Punjab as I visited my friends wedding. He had to be married without much fanfare due to fear of militants. In fact, one of his sikh friend told me that we were lucky to visit Punjab jusy like that as NEXT time we may have to come with a PASSPORT !!?? One of person from south told me that they had to leave their rented house with all belonging and flee due to threats and his wife was asked not to wear 'Bindi' in a market place. I have personally witnessed the fear as no one dared to move after dark and mass killings were prevalent.

Why un-necessarily politicise an armed up-rising against the state and take shelter under religious cover. The members of one community were systematically being shot and the extremists duly funded by extremists across the globe for their own nefarious reasons holding the entire state to ransom. There was no other alternative other than to neutralise them at what ever cost.The SGPC ran away from responsibility and the intellectual elite of Punjab maintained silence out of fear or will full acquiescence. When the pot boiled and the milk poured out all started shouting vigorously about religious heat and intolerance ! Indira Gandhi was once right and showed that the nation can not be taken for a ride. Soldiers like Brar had sacrificed the entire life for the nation by being forced to live under shadow of death !

Yes, the design of Pakistan was to have Bhindranwale declare independence of Khalistan, they wre hopinh police force would revolt and join his command and support Khalistan, at this point Bhindranwale will declare him acting head of khalistan and seek help from international bodies and UN against Indian forces and Pakistan would move its forces to save khalistan from 'india' with the help of britain, canada and somewhat from united stated. It is learned that KGB was monitoring britian/pakistan/canada in their designs and alerted indira when they saw clear danger. This lead to the unfortunate operation.
But this operation saved india, Brar. vaidya are heores of modern india and so are those soldiers who lost life including several sikhs.

Our intelligence agency was sleeping and had no clue about it in advance.... india moves when things go beyond control.... that is what happened here...
India's most powerfull women PM became the victim of Western bogy in the name of Khalistan;but her family sacrifiece has not gone in vain the entire plot of Khalistan was distroyed and the Punjab is peaceful and prospering today.
Congress leadership saved even North-East and Tamil Nadu going away into terror out fits from Maynmar and LTTE from Sri-Lanka.

Congress 'leadership'? It was this 'leadership' that set up Bhindranwale to counter the Akalis, and he turned into a Frankenstein. Prabhakar was armed and supported by the Indira Govt. And a moronic Rajiv Gandhi refused to allow the Indian Army in Sri Lanka to capture/kill Prabhakar. We lost a lot of soldiers in Sri Lanka because of Rajiv Gandhi's utterly shortsighted policy. And ultimately, the Tamilians of Sri Lanka have been the biggest losers, because India gave Sri Lanka the official 'go ahead' policy when they launched the war on LTTE

If not for the Congress party those problems would not have arisen in the first place. Bhindranwale was Indira Gandhi's protege before he struck out on his own.
